• Don’t miss Life episode 2.14 titled “Mirror Ball” which will air in the US this Wednesday, February 11, 2009 on NBC at 9pm (ET).

• The region 2 DVD for The Escapist (featuring Damian Lewis) was released for sale in the UK today and some lucky fans have already received their copies.

• Mark Kermode of The Observer offered these comments about The Escapist:

  “There’s no such thing as a bad Brian Cox movie and The Escapist (2008, 15, Vertigo £15.65) proves no exception. A stripped-down, prison-break thriller with echoes of The Shawshank Redemption, Rupert Wyatt’s lean, mean B-movie blends satirical spiritualism with tough-as-nuts action. Apparently, Cox landed the lead role after telling Wyatt he was fed up with playing cameos, so he’s centre stage where he belongs.”

• This 4.5 Stale Popcorn review describes The Escapist as a:

  “…little slice of near-perfection. Two shades shy of a masterpiece…Wyatt has made a movie of absolute stellar visual originality… The direction, the sense of assurance in its set-pieces and the performances all make this very much worthy of your time. The title cards and music create a confident, fully realised tone that puts you in the exact mindset you need to be in for the film and Brian Cox leads the charge with a performance that just confirms him once and for all as one of the most consistent, great actors working in the industry right now…”

• Canada’s Global television network is running Life on Wednesday nights at 9pm (ET). Global is also offering online viewing of recent episodes.

• Season One of Life starring Damian Lewis was released in the UK on DVD on February 2nd; this Hertfordshire Mercury review of the show says:

  “Life satisfies on a variety of levels – it’s got a quirky sensibility, isn’t afraid to get up close to the unpleasantness, has a fascinating central character in Charlie Crews (Brit abroad Damian
  Lewis) and features a self-contained case in each episode while also letting slip a few more clues and details concerning the series’ major story arc…Lewis does a great job of playing Crews, making him credibly offbeat and randomly philosophical yet also a solid, intuitive cop; he’s a likeable loon, but at the same time gives just enough of a hint that, maybe, he really is unbalanced enough to have killed…This three-disc set features all 11 episodes plus extras including interviews, selected commentaries and features. Season two can’t come around fast enough”

• Sonny has posted HQ photos of Damian Lewis in the BBC’s 2002 political spoof titled Jeffrey Archer: The Truth.

• Damian Lewis is “Number 28” on BuddyTVs new list of TV’s 50 Sexiest Men! ➡

  Of course, he’s always “Number 1” on our list! Click here for the article at the Warehouse.

• Spoilers! Click here for Life updates from E! Online including the news that Gabrielle Union will temporarily replace Sarah Shahi (Dani Reese) as Charlie’s partner during Sarah’s (real-life) pregnancy.

  In the interview Life creator and executive producer Rand Ravich says that there has been no news about a 3rd season for the program. 🙁

  Fans are encouraged to log comments supporting Life and to tell NBC to keep this wonderful program on the air!

  And also tell NBC to promote it! And to let Charlie Crews grow his hair out a little!

• Spoilers for Life episode 2.13 “Re-Entry” which aired in the US last night on NBC.

  Fans of Band of Brothers will be pleased to see another cast member appearing on Life. Richard Speight Jr. who played Pvt. Skip Muck on Band of Brothers made a guest appearance on last night’s show. There were also other subtle references to the series (e.g., “Charlie Crews says to ‘hang tough’!”)

  Let’s hope that we will get to see many more of the “Brothers” working together again!

• This ChicagoTribune.com review of Life says:

  “Life,” in a crowded field of crime-related procedurals, is unique. Like its lead character, Los Angeles detective Charlie Crews (played by Damian Lewis), this low-key show is laconic, witty, refreshingly curious and instinctively averse to melodrama. In other words, “Life” is good company.

• In the UK FX will re-broadcast season one of Life starting February 10th:

  » Episode 1.01 Merit Badge – Tues Feb 10th at 2100, repeated Thurs Feb 12th at 2300

  » Episode 1.02 Tear Assunder – Tues February 17th at 2100

• Spoilers! Visit the Warehouse to view new HQ photos from Life episode 2.15 titled “I Heart Mom” which is scheduled to broadcast in the US on NBC on February 18, 2009 (source: SpoilerTV).

• In this review of Life Michael Storey says that:

  “Life has been a surprise hit for many observers. It was unexpected, as are most hits. What seemed like just another police procedure show has resonated with the audience…What makes the show stand out? As with any successful series, it’s the characters. We return to a program week after week because we care about the characters and want to see what they are up to next. Check out Life and if you find the characters interesting, put it on your watch list.”

• Don’t miss it! Life finally returns to US television on Wednesday, February 4th on NBC with episode 2.13 “Re-Entry”. ➡
